Mobile device user interface having enhanced visual characteristics

A method comprising:

• outputting, by a computing device for display, a graphical user interface of an application, the graphical user interface including a plurality of elements;
• determining, by the computing device, an age for a first element of the plurality of elements, the age being a period of time that has elapsed since the first element was last selected in the application;
• generating, by the computing device, based on the age of the first element, a visual characteristic that indicates the age of the first element;
• and
• outputting, by the computing device for display, the visual characteristic for the first element.

A device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:
• output, for display, a graphical user interface of an application, the graphical user interface including a plurality of elements, each respective element of the plurality of elements being associated with one of a plurality of features;
• determine an age for a first feature of the plurality of application features, the age being a period of time that has elapsed since the first feature was enabled in the application;
• generate, based on the age, a visual characteristic that modifies a visual appearance of the respective element of the plurality of elements associated with the first feature;
• and
• output, for display, the visual characteristic in the graphical user interface.

A device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one operable by the at least one processor to:
• output, for display at a display device, a graphical user interface of an application, the graphical user interface including a plurality of elements;

• generate, based on the age, a visual characteristic that indicates the age of the first element;
• and
• output, for display, the visual characteristic for the first element in the graphical user interface.
